The Shulchan Aruch says (YD 179:1) that you may not ask about the future in stars or in lots (Goral).  It seems from here, says Rav Moshe Shternbuch (1:856), that if you are undecided in a matter it is forbidden to draw lots. However, says Rav Shternbuch, he remembers his father-in-law once asked the Chazon Ish if when he is unsure what to do, whether he can write on two pieces of paper and draw one and follow what it says. The Chazon Ish said that he is permitted to do so, but Rav Shternbuch says that he didn’t hear the reason for permitting this seeming violation of halacha.

Maybe, says Rav Shternbuch, that the issur in the Shulchan Aruch is if someone is sick and you draw lots to see if he will live or die and then you believe the outcome.  However, when a person is faced with a dilemma what to do and has two equal choices which he cannot decide between, he may draw lots to help him choose a course of action and daven to Hashem that the right outcome will come up in the goral.  In this case it is not assur because the Goral is not determining anything in any way. It is just helping him move forward and breaking his indecision without him trusting or relying on any power other than Hashem.
